Contact details are available for affiliates to use if and when they have any concerns regarding the program. We always address any direct critisism or queries regarding the program when approached directly.

It is not unreasonable for a merchant to understand where their marketing budgets are being directed.

I think its important that next and i-level work work closer with affiliates going forward and we will be contacting top tier affiliates about a get together shortly.
